Intelli-Tec owner in tragic boating accident

Sad news came over the wire just now: Intelli-Tec owner Marty McMillan was killed in a boating accident on Sunday.
Marty L. McMillan, 51, of Westbury, founder and president of Intelli-Tec Security Services, was fishing on his 30-foot boat Xiao Mu Ji 11 miles southeast of Montauk and 5 miles southwest of Block Island when the accident occurred about 9:30 a.m., said Coast Guard Petty Officer Annie Berlin."They were attempting to pull anchor and try fishing another area and he became tangled in the anchor line and went overboard," said East Hampton Town Police Det. Sgt. Christopher Anderson.McMillan, who has been in the security industry since 1977, was not wearing a life jacket, Berlin said.
I've never had a chance to meet Marty. If anyone would like to leave a thought or two about him in the comments sections, please do. Intelli-Tec is a Security Net member doing residential and commercial work out on Long Island.
Here's a nice write-up of Marty from a local Real Estate Journal.
Edit: Newsday has posted an interview with Marty's son Cody. It's heartbreaking.
